The pilot, Maj. Robert W. Halli- | day, 33, of Ridgewood, N. J., said | the trouble showed up as the swept- | wing Boeing stratojet approached | the California coast, and he chose to land at Edwards Field, on the desert at Muric. He did not say what | the trouble was. | Todays flight ended ‘at 8:53 a.m. | (PsT), five hours and 50 minutes | after the bomber left Hickam Field, Honolulu. It was not a speed record. The average of 445.7 MPH was well below the 1949 flight, made in three hours and 46 minutes, an average | speed of 607.8 MPH. “| The rated combat radius of the B-47 is 1,000 miles. ‘Temporary Wage Electrie Light Op. and the review- ing stand will be opposite ghem near the Baranof hotel entrance.
